When they had come in, they went up into the upper room, where they were staying; that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.

In these days, Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,

But Peter, standing up with the Eleven, lifted up his voice, and spoke out to them, "You men of Judea, and all you who dwell at Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words.

Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?"

Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Now Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.

Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive gifts for the needy.

Peter, fastening his eyes on him, with John, said, "Look at us."

But Peter said, "Silver and gold have I none, but what I have, that I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk."

And as he held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.

When Peter saw it, he responded to the people, "You men of Israel, why do you marvel at this man? Why do you fasten your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him walk?

Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people, and elders,

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they were amazed. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.

But Peter and John answered them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,

But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

Peter answered her, "Tell me whether you sold the land for so much." She said, "Yes, for so much."

But Peter asked her, "How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out."

They even carried out the sick into the streets, and put them on cots and mats, so that as Peter came by at the least his shadow would fall on some of them.

But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than men.

Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,

But Peter said to him, "May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money.

It happened, as Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.

Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed." Immediately he arose.

As Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to us.

Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper chamber. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.

Peter put them all out, and kneeled down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, "Tabitha, get up." She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is surnamed Peter.

Now on the next day as they were on their journey, and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.

A voice came to him, "Rise, Peter, kill and eat."

But Peter said, "Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean."

Now while Peter was very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, stood before the gate,

and called and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, was lodging there.

While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Behold, three men seek you.

Peter went down to the men, and said, "Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?"

When it happened that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.

But Peter raised him up, saying, "Stand up. I myself am also a man."

Send therefore to Joppa, and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter. He lodges in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the seaside.'

And Peter opened his mouth and said, "Truly I perceive that God does not show favoritism;

While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.

They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the Gentiles.

For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,

When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,

But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,

I also heard a voice saying to me, 'Rise, Peter, kill and eat.'

He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying to him, 'Send to Joppa, and get Simon, whose surname is Peter,

When he saw that it pleased the Jewish people, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This was during the days of unleavened bread.

Peter therefore was kept in the prison, but constant prayer was made by the church to God for him.

The same night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains. Guards in front of the door kept the prison.

And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side, and woke him up, saying, "Stand up quickly." His chains fell off from his hands.

When Peter had come to himself, he said, "Now I truly know that the Lord has sent out his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from everything the Jewish people were expecting."

And when Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.

When she recognized Peter's voice, she did not open the gate for joy, but ran in, and reported that Peter was standing in front of the gate.

But Peter continued knocking. When they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed.

Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter.

When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, "Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News, and believe.

When it happened that we had parted from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
